All Miyazu Castle Samurai Daishos' locations in Assassin's Creed Shadows

1) Southeastern corridor – First Samurai Daisho

Approach Miyazu Castle through the southwestern walls, steering clear of the main gate. Use the scaffolding close to the bridge as a means to ascend, and proceed east. The first of the Miyazu Castle Samurai Daishos is guarding a lengthy southeastern corridor with some other soldiers.

To kill him quietly, sneak across the perimeter walls and hide in a dark corner. Use Shinobi Bells to lure him out of his group, then silently kill him in the shadows.

2) Central courtyard – Second Samurai Daisho

From the location of the first Daisho, look northwest across the water toward a long central courtyard. The second Daisho can be found here, surrounded by three guards — two practicing and one patrolling. For a clean kill, make sure to use the perimeter walls as cover and hide in the bushes. Now, wait for them to pass, and lure them using Shinobi Bells to take them out. Make sure you do the same for the archers. Then, bait the Samurai Daisho near the crate in the passage and execute him.

3) Central-eastern courtyard – Third Samurai Daisho

Move northwest toward the verdant courtyard in the central-eastern section of the castle. The third Samurai Daisho is stationed here, near a house with an elevated balcony.

Climb onto the rooftops, eliminate the guard patrolling above, then drop down to assassinate the Daisho. If needed, follow up with extra hits to finish him off before escaping.

4) Northern courtyard – Fourth Samurai Daisho

To locate the last of the Miyazu Castle Samurai Daishos, head to the long northern pathway of the castle. He patrols this area with multiple guards, so a direct fight would be risky. This Daisho is tougher than the others, so if he survives the initial strike, finish him quickly before reinforcements arrive.
